Introduction 2.1

This is a thorough bible study about the meaning of the Greek word σάββατον, 'sabbaton' translated 'Sabbath',
Strong's 4521. It includes every verse where the word 'σάββατον' appears in the New Testament. To obtain a true understanding
of this word these scriptures need to be meditated on and notes made of their meaning in different contexts. This requires putting scriptures together where they seem to
have a similar meaning, and then meditating even more. The truth will be revealed by the Holy Spirit, who has been given to guide us into all truth (John 16:13). Wherever
this word sabbaton appears in the Greek, the translation of it is highlighted with yellow. In
Greek, with the exception of case endings, the suffixes and prepositions are not added to the basic word as in Hebrew, so these have not been been included in
highlighted text. Every blessing be to those who seek the truth of God's word.
